Lieutenant Bukowski

A supporting player from the gritty Copper Age of DC's flagship detective title, Lieutenant Bukowski made their debut in Detective Comics #576 in 1987 — a book then being brought to vivid life by the early artistic talents of Todd McFarlane and writer Mike W. Barr. Bukowski inhabits a world populated by the likes of Alfred Pennyworth and Leslie Thompkins, the kind of grounded, street-level Gotham cast that gave that era its distinctive noir texture. With only a handful of appearances to their name, Bukowski is a rare find for dedicated Detective Comics completists who love the richly atmospheric storytelling of that late-'80s run.
